 Huskies have been the poor cousin, technology lacking bike of the mx and enduro world for a long time now. If it takes painting a ktm in traditional husky colours and calling it a "new" husky to have them return to the fold in the off road world then so be it. This was always gonna happen as soon as the deal was done on the husky purchase and the closely following closure of Husaberg. I reckon they look awesome, might even trade my 2012 Husaktmberg for one  ;D

They look better in white than in orange or blue. Lose the Redbull signage and replace it with a big blue "H", and it might even become a good looking bike.

I agree, but I'm hoping that Peier (sp?) will give the Swedes free reign and eventually let them design their own.

Yup, that would look way cool.

I prefer a white KTM over orange BUT what I think is the good news is that World Motocross is having a 300cc twostroke class !!!!  Maybe one of the Jap companies might make a 300?

Seriously, if Japan made either a 300 twostroke and/or a 350 fourstroke, they would outsell the KTM/Husky counterpart.

would look a LOT better in Orange.  Its like rebadging a Commodore as a Toyota etc, marketing ploy only for the suckers.....us!  Buy Orange!  Or if you really need the extra buy the Six Days.

Huskys biggest problem is Paul Feeney but Leisky is trying hard, we shall see, i am betting Feeney.  Whilst on Feeney, he is a TOP bloke from personal experience, BUT i have seen some VERY ordinary warranty backup from his company......enough to stopy me every having a "white Kato" if he is distributing them.

I've previously heard that Feeny has a contract to be the Ausse Husky importer/distributor that lasts for another few years.
Don't know how true it is, but seems plausible.

I agree with you about badge engineering, but I think the bikes look better in white.  IMHO, the KTM Six Days are bloody awful, cosmetically speaking.

Yep strange one that.
TCs have always been a fourstroke.
CRs have been a 2 stroke.
